    Well the shop is just not working right away to change my spark plugs-so after I had a fuse blow due to a tag light-wipe out my headlights too-I fixed it myself. So onto changing the plugs too-I ordered some new fasteners-mine are worn out or missing. This looks like it could be a tricky job, but I did change them on my r6 -pain in butt though. I don't think ,I need the shop other than put new tires on-mine are good right now. It was good that I went though the whole electric system and checked all the wring -its in good shape:mechanic:

    My idle speed way too low-I found out the tach is off-so I need to set at 1400 and use a Philip head screw driver on the idle adj-not working. knob is frozen.

    I think you should run normal heat range plugs in number 1&3 cyl and go one lower in number 4, and one range higher in cyl 2.
    So you will need one plug at heat range 8, one at 10, and two at 9. This way you will cover all eventualities of how your engine is running.

    I am sure that would make things worse - BB would take your advice and maybe Randy too! that would work on a weed wacker.
